Ayder of the poore/and punyssher of trespasse
The gyuer of worshyp/kyng Edgar is now gone
To ye kyngdom of heuē/which lyke to prayse was
As Salamon/that for wysdom/aboue all shone
A fader in peas/A lyon̄ to his foone
Founder of Temples/of monkz stronge patrone
Oppresser of all wronge/& of Iustyce guardone.
